And by "controlling" we mean "supermajority" thanks to the veto and filibuster.
And will things magically be better? Well, better, yes, good, no. First, it takes a lot of time to undo the harm fascists have done. And second, our oligarchs would still be in control, pushing for their needs above ours.
So we need to....... solve....... our oligarch problem AND win a supermajority AND then We the People need to push that Overton window back to the left, forcing our politicians to serve our needs.
.......which is why I say we're pretty fucked. But that's what needs to happen, anyway.
Defy the dire prognosis, and head mendwards anyway.
